Characterization and Expression Analysis of the bHLH Gene Family During Developmental Stages and Under Various Abiotic Stresses in <i>Sanghuangporus baumii</i>.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Basic helix-loop-helix (bHLH) transcription factors (TFs) widely exist in eukaryotic organisms and play a key role in plant growth and development in response to environmental stresses. Sanghuangporus baumii, an important medicinal mushroom known for its anticancer properties, has limited research on the bHLH gene family.

Methods

This research utilized the genomic data from S. baumii to identify bHLH family members, and their gene structure, conserved motifs, and phylogenetic relationship were characterized. Additionally, we conducted an analysis of promoter cis-elements and predicted protein interaction networks. We also examined the expression profiles of bHLH genes during different developmental stages and in response to four abiotic stresses: hea
